I’m lucky a neighbor municipal decided to make their own internet with fiber. The only other competition is some slow, expensive satellite wifi (120 a month for 5MB/s) and Time Warner/Spectrum bullshit.

Everyone seems excited about Diablo 4 and OW2, but, given the state of the industry, I feel the main reason for their releases are to be updated with modern monetization. OW’s lootboxes and stuff make bank, but what if you throw in a battle pass as well? Also: OW is old. People who play hardcore and spends lots of…

Money. A decade old figure once said that player retention between base games and their expansions was something around 30-40%, while sequels of well recieved games tend to see an uptick is sales overall (This is why the industry latched onto the idea of sequel after sequel in the ‘00s).

They lied about the products they sold, they mislead their customers about microtransactions, they showed incompetence in how they handled patching and programming, Todd Howard openly admitted that they knew the game was fucked, but it’s okay because of the roadmap, which itself has been a false promise... Even a…

Markiplier owes his entire channel to FNAF, he gained millions of subscribers from the first game.

Texas is actually pretty bad. We specifically have Tex-Mex which is a loose bastardized version of Oaxacan cuisine. Everyone will TELL you it’s Mexican, even the restaurants say “AUTHENTIC MEXICAN”, but 98% of it is Tex-Mex.

I’d totally double dip into The Switcher 3 if it had cross save like Divinity 2. You don’t understand how much being able to drop 30-60 minutes into the game during my down time away from home helped speed along my playthrough.

Reliability would be a big factor. Overclocking then constantly maxing out the hardware not only creates high temperatures (super bad for a small, barely vented handheld), but also the wear and tear. Instead of lasting years, your switch would probably die within a year or two (this is what happened to the original…

Something that helps with this decision making is that you generally don’t need to worry about gimping your character, either. Most games and releases have Respec options readily available. When I went through Divinity 2 recently, I reset my characters options several times, fine tuning what wasn’t working vs what…

One of the biggest standouts is how much story and dialogue there is in these games. In 2019, you could get away with classifying these games as Visual Novels, that's how much reading is in these games. The D&D gameplay is just there to give it structure, much like how a lot of VNs have action or strategy segments…

Ehh. 95% (or 99.9 if you’re of a darker complexion) is whitewashing if you want to go down that road. Most anime characters are Japanese, despite the ubiquitous skin tone.

Baby humans drink human breast milk. Why can’t humans drink animal breast milk? To me it’s a perfectly reasonable “Why not?”

Its a great move, and with the recent push from the FGC to use rollback, so hopefully it bears fruit. The biggest problem is the companies themselves. If it isn’t properitery, they don't want it. They want to be able to claim it as their own and license it out. This isn't unique to stubborn Japanese devs either, it…

Unless some legal crackdown happens on gambling-like rewards, I don’t expect them or mtx to leave. I also see them doing multiple tiers (EA already does this) giving you different games. The 5.99 will get you a big library, but it’ll probably take 14.99 to get the latest releases. I absolutely believe it’s the future.…

Except Lord of The Rings’ progression is 1, 2, 3, 4... It’s a continuous momentum of always progressing forward DESPITE the hiccups. A grand adventure from point A to point B with a thousand things in-between.

Texas has a similar, but opposite problem? People sometimes merge, but then you have a lot of other people that speed down the road and try to cut in at the last minute. Either way, no one zippers.So traffic gets backed up to a stop. Because left lane cuts in, right lane goes. It’s just annoying.

It would work. The limited communication kind of gimped the game if EVERYONE didn’t know the solutions. Outbreak was also limited in scope due to PS2 hardware. A modern Outbreak with a RE7/REmake budget could be massive and intricate.

Despite being the central character, Kyo isn't even the poster boy of his own game. Mai and Terry have way more publicity. snk even tried replacing Kyo for a few entries.

My headcanon says FF8 is actual about navigating a world caught in political upheaval, while fulfilling your dream of being a Triple Triad master, and you can’t convince me otherwise.

In local co op one player controls the officer and the other controls the Legion. This makes the game hard because syncing your movement and attacks with the Legion is most of the combat. You spread out to clothes line charging enemies, wrap up groups of enemies, and activate specials at the same time for maximum…
